Re: [PATCH] cmtp: fix argument error

[michenyuan]

Thank you for your suggestion.

This bug may not cause serious security problem. Function 'bt_sock_unregister' takes its parameter as an index and nulls the corresponding element of 'bt_proto' which is an array of pointers. When 'bt_proto' dereferences each element, it would check whether the element is empty or not. Therefore, the problem of null pointer deference does not occur.

This bug is observed by manually code review.

Thanks for your patch. Some things you may want to consider:

  if it can be observed. And if not, say so. I think it would
  also be useful to state how the problem was found. F.e. using a tool, or
  by inspection.

Code change looks good.

Thanks, could I suggest that you post a v2 that looks a bit like this:

Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 net-next] bluetooth: unregister correct BTPROTO for CMTP

On error unregister BTPROTO_CMTP to match the registration earlier
in the same code-path. Without this change BTPROTO_HIDP is incorrectly
unregistered.

This bug does not appear to cause serious security problem.

The function 'bt_sock_unregister' takes its parameter as an index and NULLs
the corresponding element of 'bt_proto' which is an array of pointers. When
'bt_proto' dereferences each element, it would check whether the element is
empty or not. Therefore, the problem of null pointer deference does not
occur.

Found by inspection.
